I'm making good progress and am hoping to post to the list very soon for feedback. I do have one question: what is the best/accepted way to share the code with the Emacs community? I've looked around at the Emacs source tree for advice, but all I could find was notes about posting patches for the Emacs source tree itself, rather than a new module. Would a simple email to the list with the code attached suffice or would I be better hosting the code on my github and providing a link to it on this list? Do people even care? Apologies for a (probably) pointless question, it's my first time writing a new Emacs module and I'm trying to avoid the dreaded development faux pas. -- Matt
